Sounds good.<BR/>I don't think Mssrs Poole and McClauren held much back on this one, there are some stories that seem to add fuel to Mr. Seaquist's fire.RevJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197393011402035296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20801017.post-87038473878467750212007-03-19T16:08:00.000-07:002007-03-19T16:08:00.000-07:00I like Poole a lot, too- but I've been on the fenc...I like Poole a lot, too- but I've been on the fence for a couple months about buying this one or not - as well as his book about Tim Richmond. I've heard (and one source is someone who was good friends with a writer who was close to Richmond) that he had to homogenize it to fit NASCAR's "new standards", as well as be respectul to the family, of course. Anybody here read that one?<BR/><BR/>If y'all like fiction, I cannot recommend "Drive Like Hell" by Dallas Hudgens highly enough. About a teen growing up a racer in Georgia in the 1970's- there's a lot of good racing fun in it, but mostly it's just a great story that catches "the vibe of the era" for those with "racing in their blood". The guy who wrote the movie & book "Big Fish" calls it "The Great American Redneck novel." Amazingly enough, all of the characters have their own teeth. Wonder what Mr. "I am the voice of Washington State" Seaquist would have to say about that?The Dixie Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08251924212536867578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20801017.post-78662135734622462622007-03-17T05:18:00.000-07:002007-03-17T05:18:00.000-07:00Poole is a gr8 writer, I'll pick up this book soon...Poole is a gr8 writer, I'll pick up this book soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
